With an eye to lean and green building principles, a sustainable construction manager organizes and supervises large infrastructure building projects, including sourcing materials, budgeting, scheduling and managing safety procedures and protocols, in ways that minimize the impact of the project on the environment and maximize its energy efficiency.

SCMT was developed and guided by industry advise and professionals. This program provides an opportunity for the construction industry to consolidate their leadership positions in delivering sustainable development. Graduates are leaders in management, understanding and implementation of sustainable technologies. Graduates also have a strong command of the complexities of major project organization.
